More of Averyl Veliz.

Back on August 25 I posted a write up on artist Averyl Veliz's blog. and her wonderful animated project Klondike Story. Today up top I post the photograph Averyl sent me from when her parents went to Skagway, Alaska. In the photograph she is about 6 or 7-years-old. Because the marker shown was replaced in 1997 the photo dates before that. The story line of her project reminds me so much of what Disney or Pixar would be interested in. Watch her blog, I predict this lady has a winner on her hands...

Jefferson R. Smith

Alias Soapy Smith(1860-1898)

Welcome

Welcome! This is the blog of the Soapy Smith Preservation Trust. This is an extension of my book, Alias Soapy Smith, the Life and Death of a Scoundrel, with the purpose of publishing new research, correcting mistakes and spotlight items of interest regarding American bad man, Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith.

We are all mere "students" of history. At the time I published Alias Soapy Smith (2009) there was a limited amount of time and resources at my disposal. I now have more time and the resources are more accessible, thus, I am coming across new information. Comments and questions are always welcome.
